They’re about half the size of classics, but they’re still a nice chunky worm, still large enough to be a conversation piece. Their smaller size does save me some time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-DETAIL: Petite crawlers are a bit less “refined” than classics. They get the same level of detail sculpted onto them, but they’re a bit more limited in the poses and colors I offer them in. Overall, I move faster when making them, and I am able achieve this by streamlining the process and making just a handful of types in bigger batches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-CORD: Petite Crawlers come ready to wear on a suede lace cord. It looks similar to the deerskin lace I use for classics, but it’s not as soft. There is a separate listing to upgrade your petite’s cord to deerskin lace with a glass bead for $5. I cut them long enough so that when the knots are finished, the pendant can be slipped over the head and will sit mid-chest or lower, depending on who’s wearing it. I prefer to send them long, and the new owner can shorten or modify it as they please.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-FINISH: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePetite Crawlers feature a water-based gloss varnish that I apply and air-dry. It is a crystal-clear and durable coating that will not flake or peel at the pick of a nail. It is non-yellowing and non-toxic. Visually and functionally, it’s quite similar to the liquid clay one, with the varnish being a slightly “thinner” layer than the liquid clay one. This finish is my biggest time-saver, and it’s the main reason I am able to offer Petite Crawlers at a lower price point.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eClassic and other “premium” crawlers get a liquid polymer clay finish. It is extremely time-consuming, as it must be applied and heat-cured in stages. I cherish this finish for the dimensional final layer it adds to the piece, even though it is time-consuming to apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e******************************************************\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe similarities:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-Every single one starts as a lump of clay and is hand-sculpted, hand-textured, ETC.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-Sculpture-wise, I still pack as much detail into them as a Classic Crawler.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e- All are photographed and offered as unique individuals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e-Will have people wondering why TF you put a worm on a string around your neck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bitis Botanical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51646809276731,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/8351\/1099\/files\/EA269480-8A26-417B-8BE4-8556E266E9C6.jpg?v=1789768772","url":"https:\/\/bitisbotanical.com\/products\/petite-crawler-worm-pendant-20","provider":"Bitis Botanical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
